Doe Mountain is a BEAUTIFUL part of our county! I was so excited to get to go up to the Firetower and climb to see a large majority of the county from so high up. This is a great spot to hike on some trails, ATV through our mountains or my favorite - grab a horse and off you go! I'm looking forward to going back again soon!
